Month: December 2014

The year is almost gone! I want to share some of the many positive quotes I collect via Pinterest. I still have so much to learn, improve, and delete from my life like -fear-. Although is good to know our flaws, we must realize all the good things in each of us and be grateful for our daily blessings! I wish you all the very best today and in the New Year! Happy 2015!

“A city is not gauged by its length and width, but by the broadness of its vision and the height of its dreams.” Herb Caen

I have been very privileged to be living in one of the most beautiful cities in Miami Dade County: Coral Gables. Miracle Mile is part of the Downtown or business distric. It was designed by George Merrick who envisioned an area of shops, restaurants and financial institutions to be close by walking distance and/or easily accessed by using the Trolley service. I went for a walk on December 25th. The city gets beautifully decorated for the Holidays. I discovered a Spanish restaurant (not the one of the images – Randazzos is actually Italian), and was able to enjoy a quiet walk since just a few businesses were open.

Merry Christmas dear friends!

“It’s the Power of the Almighty, the Splendor of Nature, and then you.” Al Franken“That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight.

We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.” William Wordsworth“It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is the end of our journey, He is also at every stopping place.” Elisabeth Elliot

“I can do this… I can start over. I can save my own life and I’m never going to be alone as long as I have stars to wish on and people to still love.” Jennifer Elisabeth, Born Ready: Unleash Your Inner Dream Girl“It is necessary … for a man to go away by himself … to sit on a rock … and ask, ‘Who am I, where have I been, and where am I going?” Carl Sandburg
